AMUSEMENTS.

FOLEY'S PICTURES. ' charleserr.i-u.v In the cyclone of catastrophes and laughs, Charles Chaplin will appoar at His Majesty's to-night, when the whole of the big six-reel Keystone comedy, "Tillie's Punctured Romance," will be screened. Mack Sennett, director-in-chief of the Keystone Company, set out to produce a comedy that would constitute a record in length and laughter. He succeeded. To fill the roll of Tillie, the country girl, he engaged Marie Dressier, ane of the high-est-salaried comediennes in America, whose style is a perfect hurly-burly of slapstick and brickbat. To describe her appearance would be hard; to describe her work, impossible. She kicks and is kicked, fall, and is laboriously lifted to an perpendicular, whirls, chases, and skids in an amazing manner. From start to finish she fights her way through the maze of diasters and mirth, with Charlie always at her side, funnier than ever. Supporting them are Mabel Normand, Sid. Chaplin Chester Conklin, Charles Murray, Mack Swain, Charles Penned, Minta Dunce, Harry McCoy, .'nd ihc \ hole of the Keystone organisation. The War Gazette, and a good drama will support the big film that will lie screened at the Theatre to-morrow, also to-mor-row night.
